Model Tess Holliday reveals she’s recovering from anorexia

Eating disorder campaigners have hailed a decision by the American plus-size model Tess Holliday to announce she is receiving treatment for anorexia, saying that it is helping to stop the idea that “only very underweight people can have anorexia”.

Evidently, “Anorexia” and “Model” do not mean what I thought they meant.

[Richard Axtell]

Hey, I’d like to see that model the story is about, get that truck out of the way!

I could say something but no comment will suffice.

WHALE ON THE BEACH!

It is the type of anorexia where you eat a pallet of twinkies twice a day

...stop the idea that “only very underweight people can have anorexia”.

In her case, I think they call it a diet.

From Jocko Willink, U.S. Navy SEAL:

* Exercise discipline; don’t rely on motivation.
* Be humble, but remain confident.
* Take extreme ownership of everything in your life.

She had better learn some lessons fast, or the remainder of her life will be nasty, brutish, and short.

[ConservaTexan]

I’d say she’s fully recovered.

[frogjerk]

I think she need to calm her recovery the hell down.

LOL!

That land mass identifies as Anorexic.

Okie doke.

“Anorexia nervosa, often referred to simply as anorexia, is an eating disorder, characterized by low weight, food restriction, fear of gaining weight and a strong desire to be thin.”

Perhaps she should reread the definition. Or use a different word. Can I suggest “gluttony”?

Definition of gluttony
1: excess in eating or drinking

Now those are some boobies!!!

Thank you for the Seal quote. Passing it on to my kids!

“only very underweight people can have anorexia”

Well, that’s most certainly true.

People who don’t eat are not fat.

It’s a universal truth.

When she sits around the house, she actually sits AROUND the house!

You left out the most-used weasel-word of psychiatry: "atypical":

"Atypical anorexia is a type of eating disorder where patients, mostly females, present with restrictive behaviours and fear of weight gain but don't meet the low weight criteria seen in anorexia nervosa. In fact, their weight is often within or even above the normal range for their age."

Now, let's go to the compare/contrast portion of this:

"The major difference between the two disorders is that people with atypical anorexia don't experience the dramatic and sudden weight loss associated with anorexia nervosa. People with atypical anorexia nervosa usually maintain a medically acceptable BMI and may sometimes be overweight."

So if you're dieting in any manner, you, too, have atypical anorexia nervosa.
